Who has an Alpha Gam song book?

Mine's the Third Edition- 1924
It's brown with gold lettering.

I'm thinking it's from Alpha chapter since I also have a paper insert entitled "College songs of Old Syracuse"

I have the 1979 edition, which was the 75th anniversary. It was published in a yellow plastic looseleaf binder which I discarded--my copy is now fastened with brads. I also have the Convention music handout from 1979.

I dug it out to find the lyrics to The Rose Song (q.v.) which aren't there. Instead I found other songs I'd forgotten about, such as the Purpose set to music and "Jubilee, AGD, jubilee, AGD....Seventy-five in seventy-nine, growing better all the time." (That one hasn't aged very well. Wonder if they're composing a song for the Centennial?)

....did you know the AGD Grace has a second verse?
